Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that if EVEN FOX NEWS and Megyn Kelly are calling out trump's corruption, it's really, really bad. They're not even hiding it. MAGA can STFU about the Bidens FOREVER. Nobody is more corrupt than trump.

Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China.  Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well.  The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer.  Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company. That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company. Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies. CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

Seth Meyers reminds us how batshit crazy the last 3 weeks have been: Trump fired AG Pam Bondi. He posted a meme of himself as Jesus then said he thought it was a meme of himself as a doctor. He said the Pope is weak on crime. A MAGA podcaster said Trump is under demonic influence. Pete Hegseth read a fake bible verse from Pulp Fiction. Kash Patel thought he was fired because he got locked out of his computer. A FEMA official claims he once teleported to a Waffle House. Lindsey Graham was seen at Disney World by himself. RFK Jr. cut off a dead raccoon’s penis on the side of the road. Kristi Noem’s husband has giant fake balloon boobs.

“Kushner’s own Miami compound in the private enclave of Indian Creek Island sits just a short ride away from where his wife Vanky, who served for many years as ‘the face’ of the Trump Organization’s real estate empire, sold condos to Russian mobsters and their molls, who luxuriated away the trimesters on chaise lounges with their well-manicured toes in the South Florida sand, taking calculated advantage of Constitutional protections guaranteeing citizenship for any child born in the U.S.A. It worked out well for Trump as a business endeavor and all sides benefited, most especially the unscrupulous oligarchs who siphoned billions in pilfered cash away from the former Soviet Union by appeasing Putin and this thuggish regime. They have now established quite a sprawling beachhead in South Florida, where thick Russian accents float up through the palm trees that line Collins avenue. Make no mistake about the nefarious underworld percolating beneath the pulchritudinous population spending lavishly and propping up the local economy; buying up thousand dollar beach wear at the Bal Harbor boutiques while Bentleys line the parking lots. Miami is beginning to make Monaco look mild by comparison. It is also no accident that this sunbaked region has become the de facto capital of MAGA, the burgeoning toxic male influencer movement and the online grifting operations of all things ‘America First’. It will reverberate for decades, this lifestyle rebrand of fascism in the form of an obese conman who seems to have a gift for taking the unseemly and illegal mainstream, in the various crypto scams and money-laundering schemes of which Trump and his tribe so gleefully purvey and partake. Now those same folks want to revoke birthright citizenship as yet another attempt to stoke the ethnocentrism that riles up their base and enervates our judicial system with their constant attacks on established rule of law; discarding the basic decency of who we are a nation to serve their own demented needs and endless greed and thirst for power.” open.substack.com/pub/noelca…

The guy on the left was arrested and convicted for illegally selling missiles to Iran during the Reagan Administration. The guy on the right is a Fox News "military analyst" who thinks Iran shouldn't have missiles They're the same guy

Stephanie Ruhle on the Ontario/Detroit bridge: This bridge will take toll money away from another bridge that connects Michigan and Canada, and that bridge is owned by a big Trump donor who, on Monday, had a meeting with Howard. Lutnick. Immediately following that meeting, poof, we no longer want this new bridge.

There’s a strategy behind Trump’s Truth Social posts: push the boundaries, normalize the degradation, and hope the public eventually shrugs. But democracies don’t survive on numbness. They survive on people refusing to let cruelty become the standard.

Seven years after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the world is being asked to forget what happens when governments decide reporters are disposable—and to turn away from what that precedent means for all of us.

Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary. Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man. Putting your name above another man’s name on his existing memorial… What is that about? Truly? What’s that about? Do you want people to speak the names as one? Dig down deep. What are you trying to say? I’m really interested. There is no other president who would do this. None. Zero. In fact, it’s not even legal. Congress named the performing arts center as a living memorial in 1964, and only congress can change that law. This will always be the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Art. A great man would have said to his hand picked board, “Thank you, but the building already has its name. Let it stand. Let it be. I don’t need that.” But then again…
